Does this concept mean it is possible for each of us to change world issues like the current economic crisis?&lt;p&gt;Yes! It is absolutely possible and in fact, you are already influencing what happens every day. Whatever you see and hear goes into your subconscious mind and becomes part of the template for your reality and your entire world. All the positive and negative messages you are exposed to make a map of what your reality will be.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When you hear about how bad the economy is therefore, and when the experts predict that things might get worse before they get better - or some other negative concept - the first thing to say to yourself is "Cancel, cancel."Those words prevent the negative ideas from becoming imbedded in your subconscious mind - because you don't want those experts to dictate what happens in your personal reality! You want things to get better right now, so tell yourself those words ... "The economy is improving now. Things are getting better every day." &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Always focus on what is right, not what is wrong. You get what you focus on, so keep your sights on the goal, on what you want - including a thriving world economy. &lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><dc:creator>Natalie Reid</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 06 Mar 2009 09:41:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:17631</guid></item><item><comments>http://www.aquantumlife.com/a-quantum-life-blog/bid/17234/Quantum-Physics-What-to-Do-When-Things-Go-Wrong#Comments</comments><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><title>Quantum Physics - What to Do When Things Go Wrong</title><link>http://www.aquantumlife.com/a-quantum-life-blog/bid/17234/Quantum-Physics-What-to-Do-When-Things-Go-Wrong</link><description>Perfection is unattainable in human beings, so eventually some things will go wrong for everyone. &lt;p&gt;When something doesn't turn out the way you wanted, or when you fail - at a test, at a job interview, at balancing your checkbook, at making a graceful entrance, or whatever the failure, the first thing to do is own your error - in a kind way. Don't beat yourself up! Own your mistake by saying, "Oops. I didn't do that very well." or use some other simultaneously acknowledging and yet forgiving statement. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The next step to take is genuinely feel your feelings, which sounds easier to do than it sometimes is. If you just tripped walking onstage or made a major financial mistake at work, you'll be upset and embarrassed - and who wants to feel that way? It's easier to avoid your feelings when you mess up, but it's important to take responsibility and own everything you do. It's only when you're responsible that you can change it!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After you express - to yourself - your true feelings about what happened you can go about cleaning up the problem and learning from it. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While you're entrenched in an issue, do not ask yourself why you created it, because the automatic answer will be, "Because you're an idiot," or some other equally punishing and unhelpful comment.  If it's important for you to know why you created a problem it will become clear to you later. Just deal with the issue, feel your honest feelings, and do what you can to correct it. Then move on! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Remember that quantum physics shows us that we create our realities based on where we place our focus, so let's not focus on what went wrong! Focus on what went right and on what's going to go right in the future. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><dc:creator>Natalie Reid</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 26 Feb 2009 09:02:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:17234</guid></item><item><comments>http://www.aquantumlife.com/a-quantum-life-blog/bid/15956/Synchronicity-God-and-Quantum-Physics#Comments</comments><slash:comments>3</slash:comments><title>Synchronicity, God and Quantum Physics</title><link>http://www.aquantumlife.com/a-quantum-life-blog/bid/15956/Synchronicity-God-and-Quantum-Physics</link><description>Nearly everyone has experienced the kind of synchronicity that plays out like a coincidence - you're thinking about someone and she calls you, or you have an uneasy sense about a friend and then hear bad news about him. In quantum physics we learn about non-locality. Experiments in the quantum have shown that one particle seems to "know" what another is doing, even when no apparent signal has passed between them, and the scientific term for that phenomenon is non-locality. These scientific words also describe synchronicity!&lt;p&gt;Quantum physics shows us that we create our realities at the moment we observe them, so are we also creating these synchronous events? Yes, of course, absolutely we are creating them. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why would we create such phenomena? &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I think we do it to experience our connection with each other and with God or the Higher Power or the Universe - whatever word you use to describe some kind of deity, something that's bigger than just yourself. The magical experience of synchronicity reminds us that we are connected to each other and to God. It reminds us we are not alone.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><dc:creator>Natalie Reid</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 09 Feb 2009 15:58:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:15956</guid></item><item><comments>http://www.aquantumlife.com/a-quantum-life-blog/bid/14738/Understanding-Quantum-Physics-and-Creating-What-You-Want#Comments</comments><slash:comments>3</slash:comments><title>Understanding Quantum Physics and Creating What You Want</title><link>http://www.aquantumlife.com/a-quantum-life-blog/bid/14738/Understanding-Quantum-Physics-and-Creating-What-You-Want</link><description>One of the most significant and rewarding aspects of using secrets of quantum physics to create what you want is choosing how future events will transpire. &lt;p&gt;Recently I took a trip from California to the East Coast with my older very bossy and vocal cat, who has never been outdoors except for annual visits to the vet. She cries out loudly every time she is put into the carrier and shivers nervously until we are on our way home. I knew that the plane ride could either be a nightmare with her being upset, meowing loudly and disturbing other passengers, or shivering and causing me alarm. It could also be a smooth trip with her being calm and cooperative. Or the trip could be anything in between. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Most important I knew it would be up to me, that I would create exactly how the trip went as it unfolded. I asked for help from God/Goddess and my Higher Self to make the trip as safe and pleasant as possible.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I told my kitty we were going on an adventure. I said, "You'll be with me every moment. You're going to feel safe, loved and secure and you'll be silent!"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The trip was just fine, through security checks - kitty had to be taken out of her carrier so they could X-ray it - and changing planes. She was in the carrier longer than 13 hours without making a single sound, and without shivering or being upset. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Through the entire trip I myself felt loved and cared for and very grateful that things went so well. My part of the process was choosing that the journey would go smoothly, asking for help so that it would be a co-creation, and accepting that the ease of the trip was a gift. Creating your reality is a paradox: you are creating it AND you are receiving it as a gift.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;How will you create your next endeavor?&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><dc:creator>Natalie Reid</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 30 Jan 2009 12:59:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:14738</guid></item><item><comments>http://www.aquantumlife.com/a-quantum-life-blog/bid/13389/Quantum-Physics-and-a-Expectations-for-a-New-World#Comments</comments><slash:comments>5</slash:comments><title>Quantum Physics and a Expectations for a New World</title><link>http://www.aquantumlife.com/a-quantum-life-blog/bid/13389/Quantum-Physics-and-a-Expectations-for-a-New-World</link><description>Today is an auspicious day in the United States and in the world. With Barack Obama's new presidency come incredibly high expectations. That's good! Quantum physics shows us that we get what we pay attention to, focus on and concentrate on - therefore we get what we expect. &lt;p&gt;So it's important at a time like this to keep our expectations high. And yet we need to be sure we expect the best and hope for the best without putting the burden of perfection on the new president. Remember that none of us human beings can be perfect! Yet we can put the expectation on President Obama to do an excellent job, to do his best to help the United States and the entire world. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We can envision that the new presidency will bring a fresh outlook and a renewed hope for peace and prosperity in our world.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We each will create what happens in our own private worlds, and this is a good time to decide what kind of a world you will have.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><dc:creator>Natalie Reid</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 20 Jan 2009 11:01:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:13389</guid></item><item><comments>http://www.aquantumlife.com/a-quantum-life-blog/bid/12869/Guided-Meditation-for-Quantum-Healing#Comments</comments><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><title>Guided Meditation for Quantum Healing</title><link>http://www.aquantumlife.com/a-quantum-life-blog/bid/12869/Guided-Meditation-for-Quantum-Healing</link><description>Guided meditations have a particular purpose or goal, as opposed to an open meditation or one that uses a mantra or word, where the idea is to experience a peaceful calm. With guided imagery, you follow along in your mind, picturing what is presented to you. You can use this type of meditation to heal yourself or others. Perhaps the guided meditation will have you start out in one place and move to another, or maybe you'll stay in one place but picture something particular in your mind. &lt;p&gt;For example, if you want to use quantum healing - based on the secrets of quantum physics - to heal a broken bone in your arm, what you do is picture the bone all healed and solid, as if it never had been broken at all. When you follow a guided meditation you relax and listen to different steps - or you can even lead yourself through the steps, maybe repeating a meditation you've heard before or one you just made up. Have in mind what it is you want to accomplish - in the above example you want to heal your arm. Of course, visualizing won't immediately mend that bone! Your belief system would prevent that magical phenomenon, but the visualization will make the healing easier, smoother and successful a process for you.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><dc:creator>Natalie Reid</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 15 Jan 2009 16:20:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:12869</guid></item><item><comments>http://www.aquantumlife.com/a-quantum-life-blog/bid/12196/The-law-of-Attraction-vs-Quantum-Physics#Comments</comments><slash:comments>2</slash:comments><title>The law of Attraction vs. Quantum Physics</title><link>http://www.aquantumlife.com/a-quantum-life-blog/bid/12196/The-law-of-Attraction-vs-Quantum-Physics</link><description>The Law of Attraction says you just think of what you want and you will attract it to you. While it does seem to work that way sometimes, the idea is misleading, as quantum physics proves. In fact, until you observe or experience your reality, it exists as invisible waves of energy. You aren't attracting anything, therefore, because you are observing it into reality - that new job isn't sitting somewhere just waiting for you to visualize it so it can be drawn to you. 
&lt;P&gt;Since we live in a physical reality, it helps to take an action to help you manifest what you want in your reality. What that means is that if you do something, say start taking vitamins, it will help you bring about the reality of improved health, for example. Without a physical action it is more of a stretch, and it can be your own beliefs that could prevent you from creating what you want. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN class=mceItemHidden&gt;So think about what you want and come up with a way to help you get there - if it's a new relationship, for example, sign up for an &lt;SPAN class=mceItemHiddenSpellWord&gt;online&lt;/SPAN&gt; dating service or go to a singles dance. You won't necessarily meet your new partner that way, but it will help you open to the possibility of a relationship. Taking action will solidify your beliefs and create the new reality for you!&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR&gt;</description><dc:creator>Natalie Reid</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 10 Jan 2009 22:04:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:12196</guid></item><item><comments>http://www.aquantumlife.com/a-quantum-life-blog/bid/11251/Subatomic-Particles-the-Quantum-and-the-New-Year#Comments</comments><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><title>Subatomic Particles, the Quantum and the New Year</title><link>http://www.aquantumlife.com/a-quantum-life-blog/bid/11251/Subatomic-Particles-the-Quantum-and-the-New-Year</link><description>One of the most wonderful qualities of human beings is our ability to heal, to change and grow, and to start over. What better day to begin anew than the first day of a new year?&lt;p&gt;Spend some time today - or tomorrow of a day next week, it doesn't have to be the exact first day of the year - to focus clearly on what you want for yourself, your loved ones and your world this year. Make a list of goals, hopes and dreams and put it somewhere so you'll be able to find it during the year.  As the months unfold in 2009, when you achieve a goal or whenever you think of it, take the list out again and see how you're doing. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the quantum time is not a significant factor the way it is for us humans, and subatomic particles move forward in time the way we do, and they also move backward in time. We can do the same thing in our minds. So today is also a good day to look back to heal and forgive, to settle and resolve so you can step into the new year with a clean slate and a happy heart.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At any moment you can choose to be who you want to be. Let's start now!&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><dc:creator>Natalie Reid</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 01 Jan 2009 10:58:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:11251</guid></item><item><comments>http://www.aquantumlife.com/a-quantum-life-blog/bid/11215/Power-Affirmations-Quantum-Physics-and-the-New-Year#Comments</comments><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><title>Power Affirmations, Quantum Physics and the New Year</title><link>http://www.aquantumlife.com/a-quantum-life-blog/bid/11215/Power-Affirmations-Quantum-Physics-and-the-New-Year</link><description>Often the new year inspires us to consider making changes in our lives. How can we make next year better than the last one? What can we do, in fact, to make this coming year the best year ever?&lt;p&gt;To begin, realize that you have everything you need to improve your life, regardless of the date. If this is the year you want to succeed financially, or the year you want to meet that special someone, or graduate from college or whatever is your desire, use power affirmations to help you achieve your goals. Affirmations are positive sayings that state you will have your desires, and they focus your energy on what you want. It's important to write the affirmations down. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"By December 2009 I will achieve financial independence" or "I will meet a new woman (or man) to love," or "I will complete all my classes and graduate from the university." &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Power affirmations can help keep you focused as you take the necessary action. Once you've written the affirmations on paper and placed those pieces of paper around your house where you'll see them often, be sure to read the words with feeling each time you see them.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Next you need to take action! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Quantum physics shows us we get what we focus on, so you have to take action to focus more intently on achieving your goal. Put your energy into changing your financial situation - invest in that new opportunity, for example - join an online dating service or a local singles group, make sure you are prepared for all your exams and turn in all your papers so you'll be able to graduate.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Although New Years is a great time to choose change and success, if you don't have everything lined up perfectly by the first of the year, don't worry. You can choose any day, any time, to make changes. You can decide, "When I get up off this couch I am going to be different," and it will work,  just as well as if it were still New Year's Day.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><dc:creator>Natalie Reid</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 30 Dec 2008 21:37:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:11215</guid></item><item><comments>http://www.aquantumlife.com/a-quantum-life-blog/bid/10881/Quantum-Healing-and-Winter-Holidays#Comments</comments><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><title>Quantum Healing and Winter Holidays</title><link>http://www.aquantumlife.com/a-quantum-life-blog/bid/10881/Quantum-Healing-and-Winter-Holidays</link><description>I read something yesterday that referred to winter holidays as the time to be nice, kind and exhibit good will toward others. What's up with the idea that being nice, polite and generous has anything to do with the calendar?&lt;p&gt;Quantum physics teaches us that time is merely a useful human convention. It's not relevant to subatomic entities, trees, animals or any other aspects of nature. Why does anyone think being kind is seasonal? &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Don't you want to be nice all year? &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Quantum healing includes healing the mind and soul, not just the body, and one healing idea is to notice how you treat other people and how you treat yourself - at all times of year - not just during the winter holidays. We're not talking about perfection here, though, as everyone has a bad moment or a bad day. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Many of us are genuinely kind to others and not so nice or forgiving to ourselves. If this rings true for you, remember you are part of humanity! If you are having a bad day, let yourself off the hook and show some kindness to yourself - if that's difficult or new to you, try pretending you are thinking about a friend and behave toward yourself the way you would toward her.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><dc:creator>Natalie Reid</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 24 Dec 2008 11:28:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:10881</guid></item><item><comments>http://www.aquantumlife.com/a-quantum-life-blog/bid/10636/Inspirational-Thought-and-Healing-Affirmations-for-the-Holidays#Comments</comments><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><title>Inspirational Thought and Healing Affirmations for the Holidays</title><link>http://www.aquantumlife.com/a-quantum-life-blog/bid/10636/Inspirational-Thought-and-Healing-Affirmations-for-the-Holidays</link><description>While the holidays are exciting and joyful for many, for some of us they can be depressing, especially if someone we love is no longer here. Some ideas to help you follow.&lt;p&gt;Remind yourself that you'll get through this period and be okay once the season has passed. Make the holidays as cozy and nice for yourself as you can. Even if you are alone plan and do enjoyable events. Wrap up in a blanket and watch old movies. Listen to music. Light candles. You can also surround yourself with ideas that uplift you - start by finding messages that resonate by looking through old magazines or books. Cut out words from the magazines and copy them from the books. Paste or tape them to colored paper. Put the inspirational sayings in strategic places in your home - on the refrigerator, on the mirror by the front door or on the one in the bathroom. When you see each message, stop and read it as if seeing it for the first time. Let yourself feel what the words mean.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Healing affirmations work differently in that they don't rely on messages you see, they are messages you say to yourself and they also inspire you. It's good to keep your favorite affirmations written down so you can refer to them. Remember to use the present participle tense, words ending with an "ing" so your subconscious mind knows this is a quality you want to increase, as in the affirmation "I am becoming more content and peaceful through the holidays."  Using "ing" here lets your subconscious know that you want to feel better during the holiday season.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Above all stay positive through the holidays and remember they represent a relatively short period of time. Decide that next year things will be better.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><dc:creator>Natalie Reid</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 20 Dec 2008 12:29:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:10636</guid></item><item><comments>http://www.aquantumlife.com/a-quantum-life-blog/bid/10030/Create-Your-Reality-with-a-Light-Touch#Comments</comments><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><title>Create Your Reality with a Light Touch</title><link>http://www.aquantumlife.com/a-quantum-life-blog/bid/10030/Create-Your-Reality-with-a-Light-Touch</link><description>One important aspect of using secrets of quantum physics to manifest what you want is that, while you absolutely need to focus on your desire, you don't want to hold it too tightly. Remember our reality is like a mirage - some people use the word "illusion" but I prefer mirage, like an oasis in the desert. A mirage is a trick of light, it's ethereal, magical. &lt;p&gt;The idea is to make your desire equally light so it can exist in this mirage. If you put too much weight on it - by making it mean too much to you for example - it won't fit into the mirage that is your reality.   It will fall right through if it's too heavy. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Focus on what you want, visualize it, hold it lightly, trust that it will be yours, and keep it light!&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><dc:creator>Natalie Reid</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 14 Dec 2008 23:54:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:10030</guid></item><item><comments>http://www.aquantumlife.com/a-quantum-life-blog/bid/9993/Understanding-Quantum-Physics-and-Healing#Comments</comments><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><title>Understanding Quantum Physics and Healing </title><link>http://www.aquantumlife.com/a-quantum-life-blog/bid/9993/Understanding-Quantum-Physics-and-Healing</link><description>What we see with quantum physics is that you get what you focus on, what you choose. When something is out of kilter with your body and you need to take some kind of medication, whether it's allopathic (regular prescriptions or over the counter) or some alternative like homeopathic medicine, you can decide what your results will be - even if the results are not listed on the label! &lt;p&gt;It's you who will decide that the medicine will work - or that it won't work, depending on what's in your subconscious mind. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Before you take any medication, then, think about how much you want to be healed of your malady. Decide that this medication is exactly what you need, and remind yourself each time you take it that it's going to solve whatever health problem you have.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It's your reality and your choice to allow this medication to cure you that will allow it to work. Always remember that the decision is up to you alone, regardless of what you're told, what the statistics say or what anyone else's experience is. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It's your choice.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><dc:creator>Natalie Reid</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 12 Dec 2008 18:06:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:9993</guid></item><item><comments>http://www.aquantumlife.com/a-quantum-life-blog/bid/9448/Hope-and-Quantum-Physics-the-Perfect-Gift#Comments</comments><slash:comments>1</slash:comments><title>Hope and Quantum Physics – the Perfect Gift		</title><link>http://www.aquantumlife.com/a-quantum-life-blog/bid/9448/Hope-and-Quantum-Physics-the-Perfect-Gift</link><description>What better gift can you give someone than the gift of hope? At this time of global economic upheaval, we need to stay positive. It's not about just saying the words - at the subatomic level, whatever we focus on is what we create, so therefore it is imperative that we genuinely hold onto positive thoughts and feelings, and that we hope for a great outcome. Hope is that blending of optimism, trust and expectation that generates its own energy. No matter how bleak things may look at the moment, remember that everything can change in a flash - quantum physics shows us that change happens in an instant - so we need to trust all will be well and to expect it. &lt;p&gt;It's also important to keep beauty in your life, even if you have to cut back to the bare essentials. Find some way to provide something non-essential - flowers or even something you make. Surround yourself with messages that you are deserving of nice things and that the future is bright. Those are the messages you want to give your subconscious mind, especially when times are tight, because what's in your subconscious mind is what will manifest in your life.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><dc:creator>Natalie Reid</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 08 Dec 2008 12:29:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:9448</guid></item><item><comments>http://www.aquantumlife.com/a-quantum-life-blog/bid/9085/Improve-Self-Esteem#Comments</comments><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><title>Improve Self Esteem</title><link>http://www.aquantumlife.com/a-quantum-life-blog/bid/9085/Improve-Self-Esteem</link><description>(by request)&lt;p&gt;Self esteem is about love - love you have for yourself, based on your deeds and accomplishments. If your self esteem needs a boost, you might want to make a list of what you have achieved in your life. Don't think about times when you've failed - failures only mean you didn't succeed at some particular task ... they don't mean you ARE a failure. Focus instead on those areas where you have completed tasks, where you were able to pull it off, when you did what you wanted to do.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Although you might be at a low point today, you have succeeded at something before. Start with the basics. Did you make your bed this morning? Put that down. Have you ever taken any classes, or graduated from school? Put that down. Have you ever learned how to make a decent cup of coffee or boil an egg? Do you smile at strangers? Are you kind to animals?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you feel you are starting from scratch, recognize it's probably not entirely true. Feelings are not the same as facts. Stick to the facts and list everything you can think of, everything you've done recently or a while ago. Write as many tasks and undertakings you can think of. When you've finished writing read the list aloud to yourself. If you're still having trouble appreciating your own successes, pretend you are thinking about someone else - instead of saying I did this, say "he" or "she." Read the list, recognize you have value and own it!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><dc:creator>Natalie Reid</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 02 Dec 2008 16:28:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:9085</guid></item><item><comments>http://www.aquantumlife.com/a-quantum-life-blog/bid/8881/Understanding-Quantum-Physics-and-Gratitude#Comments</comments><slash:comments>1</slash:comments><title>Understanding Quantum Physics and Gratitude</title><link>http://www.aquantumlife.com/a-quantum-life-blog/bid/8881/Understanding-Quantum-Physics-and-Gratitude</link><description>You may have heard the phrase "the more gratitude you feel, the more you'll have to be grateful for," and quantum physics absolutely supports this concept! &lt;p&gt;With our ever increasing understanding of how the world works at the subatomic level, we know that whatever we concentrate on - what we pay attention to - will become evident in our lives. So the more you experience genuine gratitude, the more that feeling, and the corresponding state of being that is gratitude, will appear in your life. The magical thing about it, though, is that gratitude can never be a mere task to check off on your To Do list. It's not about just saying the words - and certainly no one would ever want to claim to feel gratitude as part of a plan to get more, more, more, in some sort of a tit-for-tat exchange! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gratitude is a beautiful energy that comes from the heart. It's genuine. Feeling gratitude is truly appreciating what you have been given: your life itself, health, loved ones, pets, job, talents and abilities, home and whatever else you have. Without that genuine focus on appreciation, the saying won't work, either. When you honestly value what you have, the gratitude energy concentrates ... and you will, indeed have more to appreciate.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><dc:creator>Natalie Reid</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 26 Nov 2008 15:22:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:8881</guid></item><item><comments>http://www.aquantumlife.com/a-quantum-life-blog/bid/8447/Visualization-Affirmations-vs-Taking-Action#Comments</comments><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><title>Visualization, Affirmations vs. Taking Action</title><link>http://www.aquantumlife.com/a-quantum-life-blog/bid/8447/Visualization-Affirmations-vs-Taking-Action</link><description>When people learn about visualization, meditation and affirmations, some think, "Oh great! I can just sit here doing nothing, and if I visualize what I want, it will happen. I don't have to do anything but picture what I want, think positive, and I'll get it." &lt;p&gt;Wrong! All the meditative techniques in the world won't help you if that's all you do. Since you are in the physical world, you have to take action in addition to and in support of visualizing. If you want to be elected to public office, for example, you have to get your name on the ballot! You can't just sit around the house picturing yourself being sworn in - that won't work. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;While meditative techniques absolutely succeed - and quantum physics demonstrates how and why they work - you have to participate, too, in a real way. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Visualization makes everything go smoothly and you also need to do your part, as well. Demonstrate (to yourself) that you're committed by taking action: make that call about the job, don't just think they'll telepathically know you're interested. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;To cover all your bases, it's best to use a combination - visualization, affirmations and taking action!&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><dc:creator>Natalie Reid</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 20 Nov 2008 16:03:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:8447</guid></item><item><comments>http://www.aquantumlife.com/a-quantum-life-blog/bid/8182/Self-Help-Books-vs-Saving-Every-Penny#Comments</comments><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><title>Self Help Books vs. Saving Every Penny</title><link>http://www.aquantumlife.com/a-quantum-life-blog/bid/8182/Self-Help-Books-vs-Saving-Every-Penny</link><description>Why should you spend $14.95 on my book, or anything else for that matter, when you're worried about paying bills? Maybe because it's you want to change your life, you want the support of a new way to look at reality, and a step by step process to make your life better resonates with you. &lt;p&gt;While it's so much easier to go along with the messages we are hearing every day - messages about recession, layoffs and lost jobs, foreclosures and a bleak global financial outlook - the secret is to make your own decision. Choose the way your own finances will look.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Remember you truly are creating your reality ... and that means you can change it. You don't need to shoulder the responsibility of turning the whole world's economy upside down. In your reality you only need to focus on having more than enough money for everything you need and want - and you don't want just enough to pay bills, you want to be able to have dinner out, buy something new, get a gift for a loved one or have your hair done. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Your not buying into the fearful and gloomy predictions will have an impact, so don't adopt that "scarcity" thinking, regardless of what you hear on the news! When the anchor makes those dire predictions about recession, say "Cancel, cancel" and don't allow the anchor's words to become part of the template for your life. Instead, honestly decide that - no matter how it looks on the news or elsewhere - everything will be just fine and that you'll have more than enough money to purchase whatever you need. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Trust that you will succeed in creating a great new financial reality for yourself, your loved ones and the rest of the world.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><dc:creator>Natalie Reid</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 17 Nov 2008 21:58:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:8182</guid></item><item><comments>http://www.aquantumlife.com/a-quantum-life-blog/bid/8046/Quantum-Physics-Law-of-Attraction-and-Fear-of-the-Unknown#Comments</comments><slash:comments>2</slash:comments><title>Quantum Physics, Law of Attraction and Fear of the Unknown</title><link>http://www.aquantumlife.com/a-quantum-life-blog/bid/8046/Quantum-Physics-Law-of-Attraction-and-Fear-of-the-Unknown</link><description>Recently I've posted messages on a number of social media sites and here - in my own blog - about the exciting mysteries of quantum physics and how they can work in your life.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;While many people embrace these ideas, there are quite a few who either dismiss them out of hand or else make it clear they find these ideas frightening, or at least a challenge to what they think is correct.&amp;nbsp; It is scary to change beliefs you've held for a lifetime, and it can be overwhelming to realize that you are completely accountable for whatever happens in your life and, at some level, your entire world. Some people don't want to take on that much responsibility! These people might even use the "secret" Law of Attraction - to get parking spaces or other&amp;nbsp; manifestations that don't conflict with what's in their subconscious minds.&lt;p&gt;And yet it's responsibility that provides the greatest freedom you can have: If only you are responsible for something, then only you can change it! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For those who get this point, congratulations - you are stepping outside the norm, you're willing to embrace a concept that scares many people and inspires them to disparage you for your beliefs.  If you are willing to accept the responsibility for your life that quantum physics demonstrates is yours, you are empowered to make whatever changes you want. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You're even powerful enough to create a whole new reality in which all your dreams come true!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><dc:creator>Natalie Reid</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 14 Nov 2008 17:51:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:8046</guid></item><item><comments>http://www.aquantumlife.com/a-quantum-life-blog/bid/7616/Hope-Expectations-and-Quantum-Theory-of-Reality#Comments</comments><slash:comments>1</slash:comments><title>Hope, Expectations and Quantum Theory of Reality</title><link>http://www.aquantumlife.com/a-quantum-life-blog/bid/7616/Hope-Expectations-and-Quantum-Theory-of-Reality</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Now that Barak Obama has been elected President in the United States, people suddenly feel the need to reel in their hopes and diminish their expectations. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"He can't accomplish everything," they think, considering all the challenges Barak Obama faces as he takes over.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Quantum physics shows us that we create our realities as we observe or experience them, and that what you focus on is what you get. When you expect something you focus on it ... and therefore that is what you will create. So it's important to keep your expectations high, and always expect the best! Your hopes and dreams help you stay on focus, so they are essential - it's important to hold them close to your heart.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When you lower your expectations you are only trying to protect yourself from disappointment - and it doesn't work, anyway. Truthfully, won't you be disappointed if what you want doesn't happen? Of course you will - because it's not possible to truly avoid disappointment.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We succeeded in electing Barak by keeping high our hopes, dreams and expectations. Now we need to keep doing that same thing - we can see it's working! It's time to keep our expectations high - each of us with a slightly different focus, based on the issues we each care most about. It's our very expectations that will energize our focus and help us create the successful, peaceful world we've dreamed about.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator>Natalie Reid</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 10 Nov 2008 17:16:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:7616</guid></item><item><comments>http://www.aquantumlife.com/a-quantum-life-blog/bid/7331/Quantum-Physics-and-a-Whole-New-World#Comments</comments><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><title>Quantum Physics and a Whole New World</title><link>http://www.aquantumlife.com/a-quantum-life-blog/bid/7331/Quantum-Physics-and-a-Whole-New-World</link><description>Well, we did it - created a brand new world with our choice of Barak Obama as the US President!

On this particular Sunday the sermon was about the movie &lt;i&gt;What the Bleep do We Know!?&lt;/i&gt; The minister lambasted the movie, which is about the mysteries of quantum physics. He found it to be a groundless piece of hooey and ended his sermon with the words, "You can't prevent earthquakes." 
&lt;p&gt;Naturally I disagree with him most vehemently!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Of course you can - if not prevent earthquakes entirely - at least mitigate them and lessen the damage they can do. With quantum physics nothing is impossible, and everything is possible. Everything! Quantum physics demonstrates that we create our own realities as we experience them, so of course anything and everything is possible.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For those of us who live in California and other places where the earth shifts sometimes, earthquakes are often a consideration if not an actual concern. Years ago I learned a wonderful technique for preventing earthquakes and it's imagery I've adapted and used regularly for nearly 20 years. First I personify the earth as a woman, understanding that she gets uncomfortable from time to time and needs to readjust her position. It's like when your shoe hurts and you move your foot around inside it to get some relief. I picture foam made of white light - it looks like shaving cream - and I see it going into all the earth's fault lines and&amp;nbsp;plates, filling in any and all&amp;nbsp;open spaces. The foam works like shoe pads and makes everything comfortable. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I start by picturing this image beneath California, and then I see the foam spread all over the world. While the foam is filling in all the cracks and crevasses, I think the words, "Calm, comfortable and safe," and it's my intention to keep the earth comfortable - so she doesn't have to make any adjustments!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Although I can't prove it helps, no one, including that minister, can prove it doesn't help, either. &lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator>Natalie Reid</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Oct 2008 16:57:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:7075</guid></item><item><comments>http://www.aquantumlife.com/a-quantum-life-blog/bid/6907/Quantum-Physics-Bull-Durham-and-Matters-of-the-Heart#Comments</comments><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><title>Quantum Physics, "Bull Durham" and Matters of the Heart</title><link>http://www.aquantumlife.com/a-quantum-life-blog/bid/6907/Quantum-Physics-Bull-Durham-and-Matters-of-the-Heart</link><description>In the movie Bull Durham Kevin Costner (playing Crash Davis) tells Susan Sarandon (playing Annie Savoy) that he doesn't "believe in quantum physics where matters of the heart are concerned." Crash may be a disbeliever, but that only shows he's not aware that quantum physics has everything to do with matters of the heart - and it concerns every single part of what exists in our physical reality, too! &lt;p&gt;You are creating your reality at the moment you observe it, combining secrets from quantum physics and what's in your own subconscious mind. To change anything in your reality then, what you need to do is change what's in your subconscious mind. That's not difficult - it just takes a decision to change and some steps to follow. The first thing to do is to recognize who's responsible for what you have right now. Are you pleased with everything in your life? If you are, congratulations! It's you who is creating things to your liking. If you are not satisfied with some area of your life, all the power to change it is yours, since it's you who is creating it in the first place!&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><dc:creator>Natalie Reid</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 30 Oct 2008 13:51:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:6907</guid></item><item><comments>http://www.aquantumlife.com/a-quantum-life-blog/bid/6772/Why-Does-God-Allow-Bad-Things-to-Happen#Comments</comments><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><title>Why Does God Allow Bad Things to Happen?</title><link>http://www.aquantumlife.com/a-quantum-life-blog/bid/6772/Why-Does-God-Allow-Bad-Things-to-Happen</link><description>The one question I have been asked many times goes something like this: "... if God loves us so much, why does He allow such awful things to happen? Earthquakes, tidal waves, other natural disasters, children stricken with terrible diseases, war, crime, the bad economy ..." the list goes on.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Although we are all children of God, He loves us as responsible adults, not as children. If we were loved as children, God could treat us the way a good parent does, swooping in to solve problems and teaching us how to deal with them when we grow up.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As adults we are responsible, however, and God gives us the choice of what our lives are like. If we say we want to struggle and suffer, God does not step in and make changes so our lives will be easier. He allows us to learn in whichever way we choose. We are responsible for creating our own safety, our own happiness - and God is right there to help us do it, but He wouldn't deny us the choice to make of our lives what we will. Responsibility for our lives is a gift!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><dc:creator>Natalie Reid</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 28 Oct 2008 16:45:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:6772</guid></item><item><comments>http://www.aquantumlife.com/a-quantum-life-blog/bid/6609/Creating-Your-Reality-in-a-Frightening-Economy#Comments</comments><slash:comments>1</slash:comments><title>Creating Your Reality in a Frightening Economy</title><link>http://www.aquantumlife.com/a-quantum-life-blog/bid/6609/Creating-Your-Reality-in-a-Frightening-Economy</link><description>&lt;br&gt;Knowing that you create your own reality does not mean that it always feels as if you are creating it - in fact, when distressing things happen, it doesn't feel as if you are doing it at all. That's normal - and that's also when it's important to remind yourself that, using your subconscious mind and the way the world works at the subatomic level, you are indeed creating it. As long as you are the one doing it, though, you have the power to change it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But what about major world problems like the economic crisis happening in the United States and all over the world? Is each of us creating this economic crisis? &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Yes, we are - that's the good news, since that means it's in our power to heal it, correct it and change it completely. &lt;br&gt;The first thing to do is remind yourself is that this is &lt;i&gt;your&lt;/i&gt; reality, and decide that no matter how it looks - regardless of what you read in the headlines or what the news anchor says on the evening news -  it's not real. This economic crisis is serious, of course. But it's not real.  The world is invisible waves of energy until we manifest it by observing and experiencing, so therefore nothing is real until you pay attention to it. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You get what you focus on, so if you need more money visualize yourself receiving more money. Don't think about the bills and don't focus on what you don't have ... focus on what you do have and see it growing.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;To help heal the world's economic picture, focus on seeing positive new headlines and hearing the news anchors telling us that things are on the upswing. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We each have a hand in creating what goes on and we can improve our economic world!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><dc:creator>Natalie Reid</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 24 Oct 2008 18:20:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:6609</guid></item></channel></rss>
